| - I want to start this review from the perspective of a parent. I can't say enough about this place and its instructor Evan Dunham.
My two sons started training in Jiu Jitsu about 6 years ago at another gym, and so I have had a chance to observe a couple different gyms/instructors and their different teaching/coaching techniques. I've always felt that there was a void in their training. I've always felt that there was a major lack of communication, lack of detail, and lack of true education. I am no Jiu Jitsu expert by any means, but I am a good father, and as a good parent I only want what's best for my kids. Well, this place is the best Jiu Jitsu gym that I have ever seen, and the best that I can even imagine. Evan truly teaches the kids in his class. Let me explain what I mean. Have you ever felt that a teacher/coach didn't want to be there? Have you ever felt the anxiety that you were wasting your time by even showing up to the class? Have you ever felt like you could teach a class better than the teacher? Like there was a major disconnect between the coaches views and reality? Have you ever felt that maybe you shouldn't think that way because obviously this coach is an "expert" so who are you to question the teachings? I have. I was talking with a friend of mine a couple months ago, and venting about how I wish my boys could get back into Jiu Jitsu(they haven't really trained consistently for a couple years), and he was saying that a lot of gyms out there are like the ones I just complained about(he's a retired UFC fighter so he has perspective). Then out of nowhere I found this gym.
From day one of walking into this gym my sons felt welcomed. On day one and every single day since they have learned something new. Every single training session has been intense, informative, and fun. They are learning, engaged, interested, getting in shape, and making friends. I can't count how many times just in the past few classes where I've found myself nodding while watching Evan teach the kids thinking wow that was a good way to explain that. I've watched him correct the lack of details in my sons Jiu Jitsu game where it blew my son away at how much it instantly improved him. My oldest son has not been in a tournament for more than 4 years, and today he started talking about getting in one. Not because Evan told him to get in one, but because he is excited about getting into it. He knows how good the training is, and as a parent that means the world to me. Again I can't say enough, but this place is exactly the way it should be, and this is the place to take your kids to learn Jiu Jitsu.
